    Motor and Prop Setup for Genesis 6s

    I have purchased Genesis Offshore and Turnigy Marine 120A together with 2 x 3s 5000mAh batteries, which I plan to connect in series.

    I need help with choosing correct motor and prop for this setup (preferably from Hobbyking).

    Will some of these motors be fine:

    http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s..._Inrunner.html
    http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s..._Inrunner.html

    Which props would go with each motor?
    What else would I need to convert stock Genesis to accomodate new motor and props.

    Thank you in advance!!!

      If you want to run 6s in series I'd go with the 1500kv. You're going to be working that 120A esc pretty hard. You'll be bookin' it til you're cookin' it. Most guys do turnigy 180A esc's with a 6s setup. With that esc, I'd by a 4074 2000kv, buy two 2s lipos with the same mah and c rating as the 3s lipos you have, and run it 5s. Still a hot setup for a 120A esc. Props can vary, I'd start with an X442. With the shipping cost (those motors aren't in the Hobbyking US warehouse, only Global), plus buying a separate water jacket, you're better off buying a leopard from the OSE site.

          I am a newbie in boats.

          I decided to upgrade ESC to Turnigy Marine 180A and motor should be http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s..._Inrunner.html.

          I understood that driveshaft is weak on stock Genesis, so which one should I purchase? And also which props would go with this setup (still want to drive on 6s)?
          What else do I need from hardware (shaft adapters/drive dogs/ etc.) in order to make boat run?

          I am currently located in Europe so it would be easiest for me to purchase from hobbyking at the moment. So it would be great if all the parts would be available from HK.

          Thanks.
